San Diego & SoCal Fishing Forums

I fished lake Murray this morning, and the water was so low that it was almost at the end of the boat ramp. On the plus side, I had the place almost all to myself (except for a few shore guys that arrived mid-morning).

There were a lot of bass busting early, but I couldn't get them to take my top water walking bait, so I switched to a small popper and Wham-O! I suspect the popper more closely matched the small shad they were chasing.

I ended up with three popper fish, one on a small crankbait, and three on jigs before it got so hot that my testicles were in danger of melting away in my waders. I think tomorrow I'll fish Mission Bay.. IN SWIM TRUNKS!

Wishing you all tight lines and cool privates.

Clearly that's one of the unforeseen risks of fishing....

Glad “they” did not melt… because it would be a long painful walk back to your truck with your float tube. Yeah, the water is really going down pretty quick and thank goodness you have a tube so you can still get out there and continue to catch bass.

Clearly! One of the dangers they studiously forgot to warn us all about before we embarked on this journey.

Always enjoy your posts. I feel like I should report (if I ever get a chance to fish), just to help out the couple guys that do.

Do you wear breathable waders? Neoprene is too hot in the summer!

Awesome report, haven't hit murray since last September may have to go this week if busters are still going what time was busters hitting?

Dude, you're a fishing machine! Keep it up=)

Man, the friction walking back to the truck must have been crazy!

Oh God no the nylon ones are hot enough!

Early.. just before and up to an hour after sunrise.
